What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Glycine Airpilot Dual Time

Owners widely praise the Glycine Airpilot Dual Time for its modern flieger design, dual time complication, and excellent value, with one owner calling it a "ridiculous value" at $167.19. The dial is frequently highlighted for its dynamic appearance, shifting from sunray to matte, and its well-executed, symmetrical design featuring integrated 24-hour time. While some owners find the 44mm or 46mm case size acceptable on larger wrists, others consider it too large, with one owner wishing for a thinner 9mm profile instead of the observed 11.1mm thickness. The watch's Swiss pilot heritage and design elements are also appreciated, though some note Glycine's association with Invicta and inflated MSRPs. On balance, owners rate the Glycine Airpilot Dual Time highly for its striking dial design and exceptional value proposition.

Vario 1918 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.

From video reviewers

The Seiko NH35A movement's accuracy and power reserve are discussed. The Miyota 82S5 gilt movement is also mentioned. The watch's value is questioned when compared to competitors like the Seiko 5.
